“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(In the beginning the four of us sat on the floor, grouped around our coffee table and holding hands as suggested by Seth in the 125th session, and as we had done before. Jane spoke for some little time in a repetitious voice, as a way of inducing a relaxed state within us, but no phenomena of any kind appeared. Dim lights were on. We had been using our recorder earlier but were not recording these monotonous inductions, and as will be seen this was a mistake on my part.

(Seth repeated several times that he felt in fine form, and Jane’s voice and manner so indicated. I asked some questions designed to keep the material on the level of reincarnational data, since our guests had done some reading on the subject. Seth said I had not known Lee Wright before, but that I had been “involved” with Judy in a past life. It was indeed in my Denmark existence, he said, “the life of which you are now so ashamed.” In that life Judy had been a man, and a sailor. This reminded me that Seth had given similar data for our friend Bill Macdonnel; he too had been a sailor in a Denmark contemporary existence, but as I recall I did not ask Seth whether Judy and Bill had known each other in that life. As it happens, Bill had been a guest also earlier tonight, leaving just before the session.

(Judy’s entity name was given as Rayuk, and Lee’s as Wonlin. While speaking Jane was now up on her knees, gesturing freely. Her eyes remained closed and she did not get up and pace about. Break came after 11:30. I had plenty of time to get the recorder set up. Jane resumed at 11:40 in the same rather strong voice, but at a somewhat slower rate.)

At one time these two were brother and sister. At this time, 1602, in England, the man committed an act which put him greatly in his sister’s debt. He was from a good family. He was however cruelly-natured in many respects. It was a time when such cruelty was indeed accepted, and sensitivity was hardly a way of life.

This time we see the development of the personality. We see that balances have been made here, we see the emotions having stronger bearing upon the personality. We also see, as I mentioned in your own case Joseph, we see an attempt to overcompensate. As once he would not trust the emotions and does not trust his reason, this being an attempt to compensate. Indeed its purpose is a good one, but any compensation of this sort must be balanced by the personality itself in all cases.

There was difficulty with the left foot at one time. There was at one time difficulty with the forefinger of the left hand.

(Unfortunately, we are unable to distinguish here as to whether Jane pronounced the word forefinger, or the two words, fourth finger. Her diction was not quite clear enough on the tape for us to distinguish between the two. The question arises because after the session Lee Wright said that as a youngster he had injured the forefinger of his left hand. Indeed his finger bears even now a scar near the tip. Seth’s use of the phrase “at one time,” could refer, we suppose, to either a past life of Lee’s, or an earlier period in his present one.

Death came at one time from a knife wound. The involvement between the two personalities of the man and the woman at this time is a good one, as far as commitments previously in other lives is concerned. We find here also a balance of strong points and weak points, and again, compensations.

(The following recent notes are from Jane’s psychological time notebook.

(February 8, Monday, 11:30 AM: Good state achieved. Once briefly I saw a bright white light, as though it was approaching me. Upon opening my eyes after the experiment I lay staring at the walls of the room. I then experienced a definite feeling of “separation.” During psy-time, I had an odd physical-like sensation, as though I was ready to leave my body. But I believe I became alarmed and prevented this from happening.)
